The display resource storage volume tool works out how much space a stack of same-sized resources takes up.
Result and working notes
Use 100% print scaling for this record. The sketch is not life-size and must not be used as a cutting pattern. Check measurements against the real materials.
Calculated stack height: 5 cm
This assumes flat, uncompressed items. Protect fragile pieces and leave handling clearance in the container.

How the estimate is calculated
Multiply item thickness by the count, then calculate the stack volume and compare it with the container height. This assumes flat, uncompressed items. Protect fragile pieces and leave handling clearance in the container. This utility supports the measuring and preparation work around a display.
It provides plain quantities and dimension notes; custom lettering, bunting artwork, decorations and finished themed packs belong in the display maker. Every result comes from the values you enter, with no model request or invented price.
